She's wearing a wonderful pancho

Here's my February avatar.

Also, I just watched Avatar: The Last Airbender. It makes me wonder very much about how many meanings there are of the word "avatar." I shall investigate and get back to you quickly ... ... ...
...
...
...

There are three meanings:–noun
1. Hindu Mythology . the descent of a deity to the earth in an incarnate form or some manifest shape; the incarnation of a god.
2. an embodiment or personification, as of a principle, attitude, or view of life.
3. Computers . a graphical image that represents a person, as on the internet.

Okay, so every context in which I've seen the word "avatar" is a valid one. I'm feeling pretty good about that.

Arbitrary goals and aspirations

Weigh what I've got listed on my driver's license.

Watch the "best" movies and read all the "best" books.

Gain the confidence to wear heels regularly and in everyday life.

Use the statement, made popular by most every movie villain, "You have no idea what I'm capable of."
